Seriously? I guess if I use it … it will only be for photos … no writing .. oh wait …DayONE dos it all on all platforms.
🎥 Asteroid City, 2023 - ★★★★
Yes it’s Wes Anderson, so you kinda know what you are going to get … except you don’t. To me seemed a lot more intricate than his precious outings.
🎥 Oppenheimer, 2023 - ★★★★½
Not sure I can add anything more to reviews than you already know, other than I didn’t see it in IMAX, I wish I had.

Ok .. yes … I’m down a rabbit hole.
It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

When I find someone that is following more than 100 people than I am not - I don’t bother clicking through .. they’re all going to be masto peeps .. all good .. that’s why I have masto.
But the lack of ability to clearly see who the making it harder to find and follow actual micro bloggers .. #justsayin
🎵Gabriel’s ‘Live and Let Live’ .. just one of many great tracks on I/O .. anyone else feel Christine and the Queens during the opening of that song?
We can do it quick, fast and safe, but it doesn’t necessarily taste great.
💬 Chris Young
Chris is McDonald’s senior director of global menu strategy.
Three thoughts
Global Menu Strategy is a job! Who knew?
Isn’t ‘taste’ his job? .. So is he new in and shaking it up .. or is it his fault?
I wonder what his boss thinks of that quote?

🎥 Napoleon, 2023 - ★★★

I barely recognised Rupert Everett
In all honesty, I went to see it in the theatre because there is a new cinema in the area - one of those fancy 30 seats per screen afffairs - and I wanted to try out that experience. I didn’t really care about the 'is it true to history ' commentaries because I didn’t care and had no idea ... being one of those people that when I see a fictional movie about real life - I assume that it is fiction - and if something really piques my interest I go investigate.

1 'Waterloo' - because 'english'
2) 'able was i ere i saw ellba' - because playground word games
3) 'Josephine' - because that is what I remember people talking about- there were even TV sketches as I recall
Good spectacle, nothing in it that made be think to myself - OOH - need to go learn more about that.
